Artel Quarra PTP 1 Gbps Ethernet Switch

Artel Quarra PTP - 1G

Artel’s Quarra range of IP PTP switches is designed for Carrier Class applications where accurate timing and control is required.

These switches are aimed at the professional markets of Audio/Video Broadcast, Defense & Security, Finance, Utilities, Telecom, and Enterprise IT.

The Quarra switches are designed as either a standard 1RU rackmount unit with dual power supplies, or a half-width 1RU unit with a single power supply, the switches are available in several configurations of 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces, supporting a best-in-class layer 2 IEEE 1588v2 algorithm.

A 1pps external reference input from GPS is included as standard, and options include an internal layer 1 Synchronous Ethernet module.

Quarra switches also support IGMP v2/3, QoS, protection switching, VLAN, MEF service delivery and network OAM.

The Artel Quarra is Ideal for:

• Live video/audio broadcast/production over IP utilizing IEEE1588 timing, QoS and Multicast filtering.
• Broadcast DTT/DTV IP distribution, utilizing IEEE1588 and SyncE timing to replace or backup GPS timing at base stations.
• Telecom networks, providing high level of network timing.
• Financial/trading networks, utilizing our IEEE1588 precise nanosecond time synchronization.
